. . . the routine

These past weeks have been pretty much the same routine. . .

I've been crazy busy with making new quilts from new patterns that I've designed. . . (& getting to use my own fabrics has been such a wonderful experience!) In fact. . . although I want to make more designs, for the past few days I've been making myself stay out of the studio. . . & I've sat myself down at the computer - to get the patterns written & completed. (The creating & making of the new designs is soooo much more fun than writing the patterns!) Pattern writing is so important though - & I'm trying to be sure that directions are clear, & that things are checked, rechecked & then checked again. It's quite the process.

But. . . in making the new designs. . . that means that my quilter, Nubin, has a lot of new things that keep coming her way. . . and bless her heart - she turns my quilts around so fast for me when it's Quilt Market time, & often, she even delivers them. (I ♥ her!)

So this is a scenario that has been happening on a fairly regular basis. . .

This happens each & every time Nubin comes over. . . (even when she doesn't have a quilt!). . . & I never tire of it! What I couldn't capture in these photos is how much Bailey's (aka "Mr. Wigglebottom") bum wiggles! I tease Bailey that Nubin is his 'girlfriend'. . . (& honestly, she is!)

. . . This is the scene when Nubin gets inside. . . & according to Bailey . . . it must happen as soon as we all get indoors. . . if not then he literally grumbles & cries until she gives him all her attention. Then after a minute or so of 'loves-'n-rubs' . . . he lets us talk & he happily goes to one of 'his' chairs. . .

. . . After all. . . his 'girlfriend' is in the house. . .

Hope you have a great week!. . . I'll try my best to check in as often as I can!

I can just picture baileys bottom wiggling and wiggling, your pictures are great. looking forward to seeing your lovely new creations.I adore the look of the black tin? birds in your gravel. They are gorgeous.

Bren, please do a little video! I'm trying to get a doggie and every bit of evidence they are fun would help my case--my DH wants a big yellow lab and I want a Westie, but I still love Bailey & Rosie...can't wait to see Celebration!
